For all the condemnation of Beilsa on here the crowd seemed to be chanting his name for at least the last ten minutes.

what would it take to silence them?
What faith do they have that is not evident on here?

Sky just analysed the 3rd. Horrendous positional play by ayling, doing what Bielsa has coached, he ran out to mark a player of no threat, leaving saka acres of space to run into.
That’s what bielsas tactics have done.

We had our strongest xi v scum and lost 5-1. We had our strongest xi v Burnley and Newcastle and couldn't beat either.

Why's that then? We've conceded 11 in 2 games, and it could've been far more.

That's the romance if football, if only it translated to results on the pitch.

So sorry, my mistake. The blame must be Aylings inexperience.

Top sides know how to defend its basic stuff, we don't and never have. The attacking stuff last season was great but defensively everyone knew we were suspect.

We aren't in the position to have built up a Chelsea style roster of about four first teams worth of players, costing half a billion pounds. We punch well above our weight with the quality of players we have.
Forshaw, Dallas, Ayling, Raphinha, Harrison, James, Klich, Roberts, Meslier are all regulars though.

We must be a delight for any attack to play against....so weak and so easily brushed off the ball......1st team players or 2nd team players....no difference.
